All of Nikki Bella and John Cena's Breakup Details

17 April 2018

"She never gave him an ultimatum", says the source. It appears the decision came due to Nikki Bella deciding to end things, based on sources confirmed in a new report.

John Cena and Nikki Bella had been in a romantic relationship for more than six years now, and they got engaged on the grandest stage last year when John Cena proposed to Nikki after their match against The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33.

In a statement published on Instagram by Nikki on 15 April, the couple announced their split. "Love is beautiful, but we've had to come to the realization after being together for five years that love is not easy", he said.

In the past the 40-year-old admitted that he did not want to get married again - he was previously married to Elizabeth Huberdeau from 2009 until 2012 - but he still proposed to Nikki, 34, in April 2017.

"While this decision was a hard one, we continue to have a deal of love and respect for one another", the former couple announced their split in a joint statement on Sunday, April 15.

The source added that Bella is "heartbroken".

The professional wrestling couple were just weeks away from tying the knot on their May 5 wedding date after getting engaged during Wrestlemania 33 in April previous year, but they have now revealed they are going their separate ways. You can read what he had to say down below.
